Limited detection of shared zoonotic pathogens in deer keds and blacklegged ticks co‐parasitizing white‐tailed deer in the eastern United States

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 179-188, June 2023., 2023
Lipoptena cervi and Ixodes scapularis sampled from the same white‐tailed deer did not consistently harbour similar bacterial genera (N = 38 deer). Non‐systemic acquisition of pathogens by keds requires further study. Bartonella sp. was detected from deer ked species (Lipoptena sp., Neolipoptena ferrisi) in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee ...

Estimating the distribution of Oryzomys palustris, a potential key host in expanding rickettsial tick‐borne disease risk

Ecosphere, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Increasingly, geographic approaches to assessing the risk of tick‐borne diseases are being used to inform public health decision‐making and surveillance efforts. The distributions of key tick species of medical importance are often modeled as a function of environmental factors, using niche modeling approaches to capture habitat suitability ...

Equine attachment site preferences and seasonality of common North American ticks: Amblyomma americanum, Dermacentor albipictus, and Ixodes scapularis

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background Ticks are common on horses, but recent publications characterizing equine tick infestations in North America are lacking. Methods To further understand attachment site preferences of common ticks of horses, and to document the seasonality of ...

Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia Infection and Transmission Dynamics in Amblyomma maculatum. [PDF]

Infect Immun, 2019
Tick vectors are capable of transmitting several rickettsial species to vertebrate hosts, resulting in various levels of disease. Studies have demonstrated the transmissibility of both rickettsial pathogens and novel Rickettsia species or strains with unknown pathogenicity to vertebrate hosts during tick blood meal ...

Evaluating the Clinical and Immune Responses to Spotted Fever Rickettsioses in the Guinea Pig‐Tick‐Rickettsia System

Current Protocols, Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Abstract The guinea pig was the original animal model developed for investigating spotted fever rickettsiosis (SFR). This model system has persisted on account of the guinea pig's conduciveness to tick transmission of SFR agents and ability to recapitulate SFR in humans through clinical signs that include fever, unthriftiness, and in some cases the ...

Predictors of individual performance and evolutionary potential of life‐history traits in a hematophagous ectoparasite

Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 799-816, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Little is known about the intraspecific variation of parasite life‐history traits and how this variation may affect parasite fitness and evolution. We investigated how life‐history traits predict success of individual tree‐hole ticks Ixodes arboricola and estimated their evolutionary potential, as well as genetic correlations within stages and

Current review of isoxazoline ectoparasiticides used in veterinary medicine

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 1-15, January 2022., 2022
Abstract The isoxazolines are a novel class of ectoparasiticides with potent inhibitory activity on glutamate‐ and gamma‐aminobutyric acid‐gated chloride channel located in nervous system of invertebrates. In recent years, studies have been performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isoxazolines against various types of ectoparasites, including ...
